We lease a bizhub 200 at my workplace. Primarily it is used as a copier. However, I wanted to use it's scanning and printing features. I successfully managed to put it on the network, and set a static ip address. I downloaded the PCL6 drivers and it prints fine.
However, I am having problems using it as a scanner.
I went to
Support & Drivers Search Results | Product: bizhub 200 / File Type: Drivers / Operating System: Windows 2000/XP (http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productid=865&filetypeid=0&osid=3)
To download the TWAIN scanning drivers. There appears to be 2 drivers,a "real time" driver and a HDD driver, however, we do not have HDD, and I just wanted to be able to scan from the copier to pdf files on computers on the network. I set up another canon in our office to do this with a standard TWAIN driver and scanito software. Works well.
However, after I installed the TWAIN driver v. 3.1.2.14 "real time" and started the scanitto software, I tried searing for the scanner, but it did not show up, I tried to add a registered device by the ip address, and then it said that it could not connect to the server. I read the readme file and I noticed that the bizhub 200 was not on the list of supported devices for the "real time" TWAIN driver.
I uninstalled the "real time" driver and installed the HDD driver v. 3.1.2.16, and it said that it did support the bizhub 200, but as I said we dont have HDD so, I could do nothing with that either.
I read the user manuals about scanning to pc and it mentions two utilities "IP scanner" and "Image receiver". I could not find anywhere on the konica minolta site to download these applications or anywhere on the internet, but I wasn't even sure if these pieces of software would solve the problem as they seem to be used with more advanced scanning capabilities.
So my question is: what do I need to get the scanning function to work properly? I didn't find anything in the manual which talks about the twain drivers, and how to use them. On the Canon copier, we have to put the scanner online before using the Twain drivers, is that also true of the bizhub 200? If so, I couldn't find anywhere to put it online.
All I want to do is scan from the copier (platen glass or autofeeder) to a pc using the twain drivers, if that is not possible, I would like to scan it to a folder on clients on the network.
Any help is appreciated.
